A tall waterfall drops over a rocky ledge into a pool, framed by bare trees and brush. A wooden stairway with railings descends the left bank, suggesting a developed viewing path at the spring. The printed caption places the scene at a hot spring on the road to Paso Robles, California. In the early 1900s Paso Robles was a resort town known for its mineral hot springs, and paths like this led visitors down to the water.
Coarse halftone grain; no white border visible; faint digital watermark across the center of the image; printed caption along the bottom edge of the front reads 'HOT SPRINGS BY [illegible] ON ROAD TO [illegible] PASO ROBLES [illegible] CALIFORNIA'.
